Welcome To Marblehead Patch

On a recent unseasonably warm spring day, I parked my car at Devereux Beach. Taking in the warm, salty air, I started walking across the causeway and around Marblehead Neck. With each day, more boats are in the water and the trees are now vibrant and lush after a rainy month.  It's my favorite place to go for a walk  - the sea breezes are cool in the summer, the neighborhoods quiet in the winter and the scenery always unsurpassed. 

This is just one of the many things I love about Marblehead. Just under 20 miles north of Boston, Marblehead is rich with historical significance, has all the makings of a vibrant downtown and has been able to maintain a small town, friendly feel. 

I hope our new site, Marblehead Patch, will soon be an integral part of the community. 

Marblehead Patch is your source for all the latest news, sports, calendar listings, events and more. Whether it's  what the selectmen are debating, who won the basbeall game or  a video clip of your child's school play. Marblehead Patch will have everything you're looking for. 

Marblehead Patch is also the definitive place for business and community listings. Our directory of listings also includes civic groups in town, religious institutions and schools, while our local facts section will help you navigate town departments and local officials. 

But for Marblehead Patch to really be a part of the community, we need to be more than just a local news site, we also need your participation. Log on and let your neighbors know what you have been up to. There is a place to announce your engagements, weddings, births or even if you made the honor roll. 

Marblehead Patch reporters will do our best to be at meetings, events and anywhere news is happening but we need your help too.

 Community members are invited to contribute items to our site and make it a true community effort. Let's work together to make Marblehead Patch the place you get all your news.

Please visit us everyday, post your own photos and videos, or place an item into announcements or our calendar of events and classifieds sections.

 Log in and create a free account and post on our comment boards. We want to represent all views, even opposing ones, so  post yours and participate in lively discussions.

Thank you for stopping by and if there is anything I can do to make Marblehead Patch a better place for you, please e-mail, call or comment.
